How to determine the mold base size?
First of all, it is necessary to analyze the product structure, consider the mold structure and manufacture process, and determine and optimal design for the mold. Then determine the size according to the design.
1. First arrange the cavity number, position of the parting surface and the gating system. The layout of cavity in the mold directly affects the size of the mold base.
2. Determine the molding method, that is, determine whether to use integral type of the insert type by the mold structure, and set the overall dimension of the inserts.
3. Determine the position of the guide mechanism and demolding mechanism, such as sliders, lifts, guide pins.
4. Determine the layout and location of the cooling water groove.
5. Determine the thickness of the movable template and fixed template according to the mold structure. It is also necessary to consider the depth of the insert, the height of the slider, etc, to make sure the mold base is optimal for this design.
